Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 55 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosis of schizophrenia of any subtype (295.10
  • 295.20
  • 295.30
  • 295.60
  • 295.90) or bipolar I disorder (296.0x, 296.4x, 296.5x, 296.6x or 296.7), according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV)
  • Clinically stable with no psychiatric hospitalization or change in existing mood stabilizers, antipsychotic, or anti-manic drugs for 3 months before screening. A reduction in the dose of existing medication is acceptable if the subject remained clinically stable throughout the 3 month period. In addition, an increase or decrease in the dose of a mood stabilizer on the basis of therapeutic drug monitoring or the substitution of a specific mood stabilizer, antipsychotic, or anti-manic drug for another because of poor tolerability will be allowed within 3 months before screening
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Have a CGI-S score of 3 or less at baseline and at screening
  • Body mass index (BMI, weight [kg]/height [m2]) of 18 to 35 kg/m2, inclusive
  • Have a supine (after 5 minutes rest) blood pressure between 100 and 140 mmHg systolic, inclusive, and 50 and 90 mmHg diastolic, inclusive
  • Apart from the above-mentioned diagnosis, otherwise healthy on the basis of a prestudy physical examination, medical history, 12-lead ECG, and the laboratory results of serum chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis performed within 21 days before the first dose. For renal function tests, the values must be within the normal laboratory reference ranges
  • Women must be postmenopausal for at least 2 years, surgically sterile, abstinent, or practicing or agree to practice an effective method of birth control if they are sexually active before entry and throughout the study (effective methods of birth control include intrauterine devices, double-barrier method, and male partner sterilization). Prescription hormonal contraceptives must be used in combination with another method of birth control (e.g., double-barrier method) throughout the study. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result at screening, and a negative urine test at baseline (Day 1).

Who cannot join

  • Diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder (295.70) according to the DSM-IV
  • Meet DSM-IV criteria for rapid cycling
  • DSM-IV diagnosis of alcohol or substance dependence, with the exception of nicotine or caffeine dependence, within 12 months before screening. Intermittent substance abuse in the months before screening will not be exclusionary, depending upon the clinical judgment of the investigator, with the exception of barbiturates
  • Acute substance abuse, as evidenced by a positive urine drug screen at screening or baseline (Day 1)
  • Positive alcohol test at screening or baseline (Day 1)
  • Current suicidal ideation or violent tendencies at the time of screening
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Involuntarily-hospitalized subjects
  • Moderate or severe tardive dyskinesia at the time of screening
  • History of neuroleptic malignant syndrome
  • History of bone marrow depression or acute intermittent porphyria
  • History of or a positive result at screening for any of the serology tests (hepatitis B, C, and human immunodeficiency virus [HIV])

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of Carbamazepine on the Steady-state Pharmacokinetics of Paliperidone Extended Release in Clinically Stable Subjects With Schizophrenia or Bipolar I Disorder

The purposes of this study are to evaluate the effects of a potent metabolic enzyme inducer, carbamazepine, on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of orally administered paliperidone ER and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the treatments in clinically stable patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder.

Read the detailed description

The current study is designed as an open-label, multiple-center, multiple-dose, 2 treatment, 2 period sequential drug interaction study. It consists of 3 phases: a screening phase beginning within 21 days before the first study drug administration; an open label treatment phase consisting of 2 treatment periods (Period 1 and Period 2), during which patients will receive multiple oral doses of 6-mg paliperidone ER alone or in combination with multiple oral doses of carbamazepine, and end of study evaluations upon completion of all the study procedures in Period 2 or at early withdrawal. There is no washout period between treatment periods. Given the potential concomitant use of carbamazepine with antipsychotics, such as paliperidone ER, in the treatment of schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder, this study is designed to investigate the effect of carbamazepine on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of paliperidone ER. Safety and tolerability will be monitored throughout the study.. Period 1: 6 mg paliperidone ER once daily from Day 1 through Day 7, route oral; Period 2: 6 mg paliperidone ER once daily and carbamazepine 200 mg twice daily from Day 8 through Day 28, route oral.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing paliperidone ER; Carbamazepine in people with Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

to evaluate the effects of a potent enzyme inducer, carbamazepine, on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of orally administered paliperidone ER. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 May 2011.
